lyrics

In the stillness before dawn, between the dew-glossed leaves, the escapees glanced around the exhausted faces, looking for that of their mysterious rescuers. Emerging from the trees were three figures. Their features were thin and delicate, a strongly defined elegant structure not inhuman but unfamiliar. A faint shimmer seemed to follow behind their every movement, a cold light between blue, purple and green, an ever changing ethereal glow.

“We, are The Aldra.” They whispered together in an odd accent that lingered in the air with reverberating overtones. The name meant nothing to anyone there, perhaps something from a far continent. But there was something in their calming manner that facilitated trust. Beckoning for the fifty or so people to follow them, they delved deeper into the woods.

The sound of music gradually filled the morning air, and one by one more Aldra appeared from the undergrowth. Some played unusual wind instruments, others had simple percussion and bells. Sounds and bodies flowed together between the dense wood, lifting the spirits of those who had newly found freedom. Time seemed to pass swiftly as they walked for several tens of miles until the trees thinned and they reached the coast...

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127
